Roasted Sweet Potato Side Dish

This Roasted Sweet Potato Side Dish is a favorite side dish in our house. It is easy, delicious, and of course a bit reminiscent of my Granny's sweet potatoes. Without all the oil, butter, and sugar, they are a great healthier option that fits into almost any diet plan!

Every holiday meal needed a good sweet potato side dish. My Granny always covered hers in sugar and butter with a bit of cinnamon. However, that can be pretty hard on your diet needs. So, I found that just baking sliced sweet potatoes is a great easy and delicious option that is much healthier. Sweet potatoes are full of flavor on their own!
